The student is unable
to create an expression
equal to 2
x
+ 3 when
x
= 10.
The student struggles
to explain how he/she
created the expression.
The student may use a
model, but the model
does not make it clear
why the expressions
have to be equal when
x
= 10.
The student does not
realise there are more
possibilities.
The student creates at
least one expression
equal to 2
x
+ 3 when
x
= 10.
The student struggles
to explain how he/she
created the expression.
The student may use a
model, but the model
does not make it clear
why the expressions
have to be equal when
x
= 10.
The student does not
necessarily realise there
are more possibilities.
The student creates
several expressions
equal to 2
x
+ 3 when
x
= 10.
The student explains
how he/she creates
such expressions.
The student uses a
model to show why the
expressions are equal
when
x
= 10.
The student clearly
explains why there
have to be even more
possibilities, but does
not contrast those that
are always equal to
2
x
+ 3 with those that
are only equal for
x
= 10.
The student creates
several expressions
equal to 2
x
+ 3 when
x
= 10.
The student clearly
explains how he/she
efficiently creates such
expressions.
The student effectively
uses a model to show
why the expressions
have to be equal when
x
= 10.
The student clearly
explains why there
have to be even more
possibilities and why
some are or are not
equal to 2
x
+ 3 for
other values of
x
.
